Deaths from alcohol-related disease in young women are rising, contrary to the overall trend, a study suggests.
Experts looked at deaths in men and women of all ages in Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester from 1980 to 2011.
They said the results for women born in the 1970s should be a "warning signal" about their drinking habits.
They say minimum pricing, shelved this week as a plan to tackle binge drinking by the government in England and Wales, would help address the issue.
Almost 9,000 people die from conditions related to alcohol each year in the UK.
